ABS sensor OLDS slow stopping . faulty
I thought my vans brakes were plain awful.
Maybe its because I get out of my Mercedes and get in the Olds and the calipers are half the size. Maybe I thought its the pads, so i replaced them and the rotors too. The Olds Van just doesnt want to stop fast. Then this morning on talk radio a guy had the same problem. The Auto tech it is a faulty brake sensor. You are going 40 MPH, hit the brakes , then at 8 MPH it reads there is traction loss and it kicks in and you feel like you wont stop. So my question is can I shut off my ABS ? (Please no lectures on thats bad)

Re: ABS sensor OLDS slow stopping . faulty
First I would have the brakes checked by a professional. Both the base brake operation and the ABS operation.
A faulty sensor may cause an ABS event when it is not necessary, but it will only change the brake pressure to the wheel that is showing a skid . Many people feel that when an ABS event occurs that the vehicle will not stop. Hey I won't lecure you on disconnecting the ABS on your vehicle....I will just ask that you stay in Michigan
